LeisurUp launches at packed Leisure Day Leisure took centre stage in Cannes yesterday as MAPIC dedicated a full day to its Leisure summit. And the breaking news was the launch of Reed MIDEM’s global B2B event — LeisurUp — which will focus on helping the leisure industry to create vibrant new experiences.

NCREASINGLY, sophisticated leisure options are now “critically important” to retail developments in order to drive footfall and attract tenants, the MAPIC Leisure conference heard yesterday.

Such offers benefit other tenants, extend catchment reach, replace dead anchors and, ultimately, increase rent roll, said Michael Collins and Yael Coifman, senior partners at Leisure Development Partners, in their international overview session.

Collins and Coifman highlighted research that shows a consistent growth in leisure spending across countries. “Retail spending in bricks and mortar is still predominantly strong, but leisure is slowly growing in importance,” Coifman said. “In almost all cases, retail spend per capita trickled along. On the other hand, we see a consistent growth in leisure spending across various European countries.”

Coifman said developers need to MAPIC News 1 •

consider the “wow factor” and viability of such concepts in order to make money. “The wow factor is how much drawing power it can have. The more educational you get, the less people enjoy it.” Her example showed that destination theme parks, indoor waterparks and IP-branded family entertainment centres typically provide the biggest wow.

And she said it was something that all developers should be pursuing. “The worst reason ever 5

LEISURE ON THE UP NEXT year sees the launch

by MAPIC organiser Reed MIDEM of a new international event dedicated to the leisure industry. The two-day LeisurUp event will take place on November 16-17, 2020 and will run across a 2,000 sq m exhibition zone. It will be located in its own venue close to the Palais des Festivals, with space to host 2,500 delegates from 80 countries.

Francesco Pupillo, MAPIC’s deputy director, announced the new event during yesterday’s Leisure Day. Delegates from the world’s leisure destinations, including local and public authorities, will attend as well as operators, suppliers and service providers, Pupillo said.

news: LEISURE DAY to put leisure into your retail environment is to fill space,” she warned. Instead, leisure must be used to differentiate your location from others. “You must be offering the next ‘must see’,” she said.

Collins and Coifman also said it was important to balance dwell time so that customers spent time and money in the leisure attraction, as well as in the retail, and food and beverage (F&B) offers.

“It’s a negative as a mall developer if you create destinations that attract people for six hours,” Collins added. “You leave them exhausted and with nothing left in their wallet.”

Both executives also highlighted the power of the draw on catchment. “Normally, a retail centre will draw from half an hour,” Coifman said. “If it’s a very strong attraction, you can draw from up to two hours away, so it’s possible to reach people who might otherwise not have come to your shopping centre.”

Indeed, leisure concepts have gone beyond the traditional, such as cinema and bowling, and have evolved into a range of exciting new or refreshed experiences that are drawing in the crowds, according to James Kennard, partner at Leisure Development Partners.

London (darts), as well as various indoor-golf formats, including Swingers, Top Golf and Puttshack. Immersive dining experiences blend quality F&B with an interactive experience, such as The Bletchley. Reinvented arcades blend gaming with F&B, such as Two Bit Circus in LA. Artainment blends art with immersive and engaging experiences using tech, such as Meow Wolf in the US and teamLab in Japan. Esports and VR require big spaces for esports — an example is the Esports Arena in California — and smaller spaces for VR. IP-branded indoor theme parks have developed on from concepts such as Kidzania and Lego Discovery Centre and are often associated with brands such as Discovery and National Geographic.

“They can really help to draw those visitors from further away and should be treated as anchors,” Kennard said.

Indoor sports are beginning to include more adventurous sports, such as wind tunnels and climbing, illustrated by concepts including Adventure HQ in Dubai. And indoor waterparks are being reinvented. “We are seeing a lot more interest in this type of project — for instance the DreamWorks water park has opened in American Dream,” Kennard added.

However, in all such experiences, authenticity is key, the panellists stressed. “Not all leisure is made equal and you have to be confident about the brand you present,” said Fri Forjindam, chief development officer of Mycotoo. “We call that ‘the why’. The barometer of the why and the authenticity behind the concept is what drives it,” she said.

The afternoon sessions began with the Notion Of Change keynote. Even the best-loved historical theme parks have had to evolve constantly to survive, president and CEO of the Liseberg Group, Andreas Veilstrup Andersen, told MAPIC delegates. “Change is not something that happens to everyone else,” he warned delegates. “It happens to you too.”

Andreas Veilstrup Andersen:

“Change is not something that happens to everyone else. It happens to you too” Veilstrup Andersen cited Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, Denmark and Liseberg in Gothenberg, Sweden, as good examples of historical parks that have been able to attract visitors throughout the ages. A century after being founded, Liseberg still welcomes three million visitors a year, making it the most-visited attraction in Sweden.

Today’s parks face the challenge of surviving digital disruption, which impacts upon the way leisure providers communicate with customers. Retailers and leisure-attraction providers are both in reality selling emotions to the customer, Veilstrup Andersen argued.

“The functional needs are different, but the emotional needs are similar,” he added. “We all serve emotional needs. When you for-

get that and become too product-focused, you are lost.”

Cinemas have also been attracting people throughout the ages but that does not mean the industry can stagnate, according to the speakers in the Screen-based Attractions session. “Cinema is in a fabulous time now,” said moderator Paul Kent, experiential technology consultant for Electrosonic.

Carrefour is one big retailer that has successfully tried out rollercoaster simulators, said Jeroen Holman, business development manager of Vekoma Rides. Carrefour signed Vekoma to supply rollercoasters in Indonesia to wow visitors at Transmart Carrefour. “Entertainment helps enhance the experience of the mall,” Holman added.

Vekoma operates 1,000 attractions worldwide and has also made a name for itself with its flying theatres, which give people the illusion they are sweeping over familiar landscapes or having adventure experiences. “We all love to fly like a bird,” Holman said.

And more of us than you might think are playing computer games, according to Ben Greenstone, director of Urban Pixel, which has carved out a market from organ-

Liseberg Group’s Andreas Veilstrup Andersen: “We all serve emotional needs”

ising events where professional gamers play in front of audiences of up to 1,000 people.

If you thought computer games were the preserve of 14-year-olds sitting in their bedrooms, think again. “Games are not a niche market,” Greenstone said, noting that some two billion people play games in the world.

He added: “Games and digital culture can really benefit people in the property world.”

And content on big screens does not have to be high-tech and the latest content. Backyard Cinema has created a business by offering themed cinema nights, moving from pop-up screenings at established cinemas to a mixture of pop-ups and its own venue at a former TV studio in Wandsworth, London.

“We play movies people could watch for free at home,” said founder and creative director Dominic Davies. His team serve up cocktails and sand for a Miami Beach night, the feeling of being in a spaceship for Mission To Mars and dinosaurs for The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Davies added: “People treat it like theatre.

People plan their day around it.”

REINVENTING POTSDAMER PLATZ INNOVATIVE leisure offerings are attracting people to what was once an under-appreciated part of Berlin. “We decided leisure was going to be the lure to get Berliners to come to Potsdamer Platz,” said Karl Wambach, Brookfield Properties’ executive vice-president for Europe.

Brookfield owns 17 buildings and 3 million sq ft (278,709 sq m) of real estate in Potsdamer Platz in central Berlin. Managed by ECE’s Foodservice, Leisure and Placemaking (FLP) team, the estate will boast a permanent residence for Cirque du Soleil as of next year. An old nightclub is also being transformed into the third global venue of hit stripper show Magic Mike.

Brookfield Properties and FLP are also overhauling the area’s Arkaden shopping centre to connect the inside with the outside streetscape. “It’s not going to be a mall anymore,” Wambach said. “It’s going to be a covered high street.”

ITH THE topfour outlet operators experiencing similar growth to online, the outlet industry is doing “spectacularly well”, according to Kenneth Gunn, managing director of Ken Gunn Consulting.

He said that Germany, Italy and the Netherlands were seeing the

fastest growth rates, with the UK outlet market hit by devaluation and Brexit worries, while strong growth is also evident in Poland and Russia.

Brands are now building considerable outlet portfolios, Gunn said: “There are 116 brands with more than 20 stores and 301 brands with more than 10 stores.”

Growth in brand expansion is

happening both at the more exclusive end of the scale as well as more accessible brands such as Guess and Calvin Klein, according to Gunn.

And the pipeline shows continued confidence: “2019 will have 165,000 sq m of new space, the ninth-best year of the 33 years I’ve measured, so we are on the up again. So far 115,000 sq m has opened this year,” he said.

In 2020, 160,000 sq m is due, and 170,000 sq m in 2021, involving 22 projects in total. Of these, 23% are conversions of existing malls.

Gunn added that developers had to consider the “day-out mindset”, creating original destinations where people choose to spend their time. “Today’s guests are looking to consume places, times

and experiences as much as they are product,” Gunn said.

With tourism increasingly important to outlets, finding a formula that works to better enable partnerships between outlet and tourism players is key to future collaboration, according to Aureliano Cicala, general manager of MSC Cruises, in a panel dedicated to capturing tourist spend.

He said the company was open to such partnerships if it could find a way to avoid cannibalisation.

However, he said it was a tough challenge because MSC’s primary concern was to get its tourists to spend on board its cruise liners, either in the ships’ stores or purchasing trips when docked. “We try to sell excursions. If they go to the outlet centre their propensity to buy on board sinks. Also,

VIA Outlets’ Zweibrücken Fashion Outlet is Germany’s largest outlet shopping destination, welcoming over 4 million guests every year. Strategically located on the border of France and Luxembourg, the outlet is home to more than 100 international fashion and lifestyle brands including Adidas, Armani, Calvin Klein, Coach, Karl Lagerfeld, Michael Kors, Nike, Pandora and Tommy Hilfiger. As part of VIA Outlets’ 3 strategy of remodelling, remerchandising and remarketing its centres to ensure a premium offering, the centre has undergone significant remodelling works in 2019, including refurbishment of facades, upgrading and extension of public areas and green spaces, addition of quiet and leisure zones and an upgrade of the gastronomic offer. The remodelling, which represents an investment of €15 million, has significantly increased the look and feel of the centre and further improved the customer experience to ensure guests can enjoy a day out for the entire family. VIA Outlets plans to roll out the next phase of remodelling, which would include an expansion of the centre, adding 8,500 sqm and between 40 and 50 new stores. The planned extension, estimated to be in the region of 50 million euros, is to be integrated immediately south of the existing site.

the remuneration needs to be the same or more [as traditional tourism excursions],” Cicala said.

For outlet centres, making the most of the tourism opportunity is key and for many represents a significant proportion of sales.

Joan Jove, managing director of southern Europe for McArthurGlen, said for some of his 24 centres more than 60% of sales come from tourists, a proportion that has risen dramatically over recent years. “They spend much more than domestic customers, are very important and are definitely a source of growth for the future,” he said.

This is in part due to a growth in tourism in general but also the fact that tourists are becoming more focused on shopping. “Shopping is becoming a more important part of their holiday and outlets

thing they don’t buy anywhere else because of price. “We are doing the same with experience and culture, using our location to make culture accessible, for example offering customers theatre experiences, music experiences, art and collaborating with NGOs as we want our customers to access culture for free,” Contino said.

Among the potential new tenants looking for outlet space is Sushi Shop, which has 175 stores worldwide. Sushi Shop development director Francois Chateau said the company’s success in travel retail and malls means that the outlet market is a good fit. “We are thinking of developing our business in the outlet market. We believe in these types of locations the food offer is quite poor and we can offer something new and quite different and also something people can buy when they leave the outlet because it’s an easy product to take home.”

When it comes to adding leisure to the mix, the choice also has to offer something different, according to Gaston Gaitan, founder of Theleisureway. “Leisure for us is not just about having a playground. It’s about how to add value to the asset. You need to try to understand how to create legacy with the community,” he said.

Despite the success of the outlet sector, there remains a job to do in educating brands about the potential of the designer-outlet concept, which is an essential element of bringing the sector to new markets, according to Brendan O’Reilly, chief executive of Fash-

And he is keen to foster more partnerships with those in the tourism industry. “Our job is to partner with as many tourism players as possible to be integrated into the tourism areas of each of the areas we are in,” he added.

Rethinking the tenant mix to meet the need of three demographics — immediate, regional and international tourists — is key to making outlet destinations more attractive than ever, delegates on another panel session said.

Part of this involves delivering on experience. “We answer this with the keyword accessibility,” said Andrea Contino, chief marketing officer at Scalo Milano Outlet & More. He said this was core to the shopping element of outlets, allowing customers to buy some-

ion House Group.

He said that retail brands in markets unfamiliar with designer outlets are often concerned about the risk of “cannibalising” sales in their full-price stores.

“The perception is that cannibalisation of sales will get worse,” O’Reilly told delegates at the event. “What we’ve been doing with tenants is working on a much more flexible lease so people can come and try it. That’s what you have to do in new markets.”

O’Reilly was speaking during the New Outlet & Mixed-Use Modern (Re)Development Projects session, hosted by Lisa Wagner, principal of The Outlet Retail Group (TORG).

He was joined on stage by Otto Ambagtsheer, chief executive of Via Outlets; Max Poole, partner at architect Holder Mathias and Urban Edge Properties executive vice-president and chief operating officer Chris Weilminster.

During the session the panel unveiled a number of new and redeveloped outlet centres from Europe and the US. Among these was the Freeport outlet centre in Lisbon, which Via Outlets has recently revamped according to its “Three Rs” approach of remerchandising, remodelling and remarketing an outlet space.

Poole said that revamping a centre while a centre was still “live” and open to the public posed a particular architectural and engineering challenge, adding that it “tends to be the really technical elements that are the real drivers” of a project.

AMSTERDAM THE STYLE OUTLETS HALFWEG, THE NETHERLANDS NEINVER and Nuveen Real Estate are developing Amsterdam The Style Outlets in the Netherlands, set to open in autumn 2020. With a village design inspired by traditional Dutch architecture, the centre will feature 115 stores set across 19,000 m2 of GLA, including 1,000 m2 planned for leisure areas, restaurants and walkways, as well as 1,950 parking spaces. NEINVER has already committed 76% of the GLA in the pre-leasing phase.

This is the first outlet development in Greater Amsterdam, with a strong catchment area of 12 million people.

The centre will be located 10 minutes from Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport and will benefit from easy access to the Dutch capital and Haarlem, with a railway station a four-minute walk away.

With construction works underway, the centre has obtained BREEAM New Construction in the design phase.

Developers set to create first ‘world-class resort’ in Europe RETAIL developers intu and Eurofund announced in Cannes yesterday that they had agreed heads-of-terms with three major operators for their 235,000 sq m global resort project intu Costa del Sol in southern Spain.

The announcement follows the €800m project receiving its General PGOU License (Plan General de Ordenacion Urbana) in September.

Yelmo Films, trading as Yelmo Cines, has signed detailed heads-of-terms for a 9,500 sq m, 16-screen state-of-the-art cinema located in The Lakes area of the resort — one of its eight themed neighbourhoods.

The second agreement is with San Diego-based Wave House International, which has signed detailed heads-of-terms for its surfpark concept — to be located in The Hood. Wave House’s concept will include a full-size 4,300 sq m surf pool, offering everyday surfing, competition events, a Wave Club and Surf School, as well as capacity for live-music entertainment.

The third agreement is with Gran Teatro Bankia Principe

intu Costa del Sol’s Ian Sandford

Pio, Santiago Segura, Jose Mota y Luis Alvarez, trading as Gran Teatro Costa del Sol, for the resort’s theatre which is to be situated in The Lakes neighbourhood. Seating some 1,500 guests across two levels, the multi-purpose 4,000 sq m theatre is being designed to attract world-class entertainment.

Speaking to MAPIC News, Ian Sandford, project director for intu Costa del Sol and president

of intu’s JV partner Eurofund, said: “intu Costa del Sol will be Europe’s first world-class resort. We’re talking of it as alongside Dubai Mall, or Mall of America. It’s that type of scale.”

Sandford said that hospitality design specialist WATG had been brought on board to execute the Broadway Maylan masterplan because “we wanted designers from outside the retail sector” to create an environment based around hospitality.

“For me it’s not about the mix of uses, it’s about the guests. In a digitised world we need to give people reasons to come and then look after them,” he said. “That also involves a new management culture, because we don’t want this to be like a shopping centre and we want to embed this new philosophy throughout.”

The new European destination is set to begin construction in September 2020, with a projected opening of September 2023.

It is positioned to the north of Torremolinos, 3km from Malaga’s international airport and is expected to attract 29 million visitors annually.

REPOSITIONING ‘CAN REVITALISE CENTRES’ RETAIL property owners need to consider ways of repositioning their centres to reduce their reliance on traditional retail formats, according to a new report from Colliers International. Entitled The Magic Roundabout, the research highlights the way diversifying the tenant mix to embrace new use classes can revitalise centres.

Paul Souber, Colliers’ cohead of EMEA Retail, said: “The structural change in retail means there are enormous opportunities for repositioning. We have to accept that certain locations are massively over-shopped, but if you take 30% of the retail out and reposition it into leisure, residential, offices or industrial you can find people start coming back into the centre and it starts growing again.”

Etienne Van Unen, co-head of EMEA Retail at Colliers, pointed to Amsterdam’s Magna Plaza as a successful repositioning project.

Placing a new 1,800 sq m dining destination — the Food Department — on the scheme’s top floor revitalised the ailing scheme and as a result footfall has doubled from two to four million. And as a result retailers are now looking to move back into the scheme.

The report also highlights a new awareness among consumers that online retail is not necessarily a low-carbon option, once the impact of deliveries and returns are taken into account — and this is leading to a return to physical shopping, especially at local shops, among younger consumers.

OutletiCo’s Latvia outlet centre ‘modelled on the Italian style’ THE DEVELOPER behind an outlet centre project scheme in the Baltics region is in Cannes a month ahead of the scheme’s completion.

Latvian developer OutletiCo is at MAPIC to showcase the Via Jurmala centre, which will open its doors next year, and meet potential retail tenants.

Speaking to MAPIC News, OutletiCo partner Evgeny Shikhman said that the Via Jurmala project, 25 km from the Latvian capital Riga, is “one of the most ambitious of its kind” in the region and would create a unique destination to attract shoppers from throughout Europe and Russia.

“There is no outlet centre like this anywhere in the region,” he said. “It will attract tourists from all over Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Germany and Russia and as it is close to the airport, tourists from as far as China as well.”

OutletiCo is working with outlet specialist advisory consultancy The Outlet Resource Group (TORG) on the brand positioning, leasing and marketing of the scheme.

“The centre is modelled on the Italian style,” said Shikhman.

“We’re working to be the flavour of Italy in style and the brand

mix as well. We’re positioning the centre in the premium range; as one of the most premium outlets in Europe. There’s no good fashion offer in Riga. There’s an undersupply, so there’s a lot of appetite for this in Latvia.”

Via Jumala is due for completion next month, ahead of its official opening in spring next year.

“Online gives us valuable data but the store is all about the experience,” she said.

Sponsorship of sporting stars has helped build the brand’s profile in China, but now that it has set its sights on Europe and the Americas it is taking a different approach. Working with top designers, 361 Degrees has created an award-winning line of running shoes adapted specifically for marathons that have built a following of elite runners. It is now looking to build on this new-found reputation for technical excellence.

VIA OUTLETS UPGRADES TO PREMIUM DESIGNER outlet operator Via Outlets is pressing ahead with plans to expand and revamp its portfolio of centres around Europe.

The company is in Cannes fresh from completing a major overhaul and extension last month of its centre in Zweibruecken, Germany.

Speaking to MAPIC News, Via Outlets chief executive Otto Ambagtsheer said: “We are still working on our main strategy which is changing the centres we have into premium outlet centres. The strategy’s working.

“We’re seeing that customers have a strong appetite for outlets; it’s the second fastest-growing sector behind online. And we’re seeing more and more brands considering entering outlet centres.”

Via Outlets operates 11 centres in nine European countries, with a total GLA of around 265,000 sq m.

The company, which was founded in 2014 and is owned by principle stakeholders APG and Hammerson, has completed a number of high-profile acquisitions in recent years, including the purchase of the Norwegian Outlet Oslo in 2017. The acquisition followed deals to take over centres in major cities in Germany, Spain, Portugal and Poland in the previous year.

Hines retail destination will serve Dublin’s Cherrywood and beyond

Hines development director Derek Rossel

HINES, the international real estate investor, is developing a new retail destination in south Dublin which is set to anchor the largest urban development in Ireland.

Located at the heart of Cherrywood, a new masterplanned town on a 324-ha site in south Dublin, the 67,000 sq m next-generation retail centre will be built from the ground up with sustainability in mind, according to Derek Rossel, development director at Hines. “Cherrywood Town Centre represents the renaissance of scale urban mixed-use development, where all the use classes feed off each other,” Rossel said. “We will welcome different people, at different times of day for different reasons.”

As well as serving Cherrywood’s eventual 25,000 residents and 18,000 office workers, the scheme is designed to serve the wider South Dublin catchment, the wealthiest in Dublin.

Built to urban, rather than suburban, density, Cherrywood Town Centre will feature a network of streets and squares under a floating glass roof. And transport links are key to future-proofing the scheme which will be equally accessible by road, rail, bus or bicycle.

The town’s infrastructure is now in place, and work is under way to create access to the Town Centre site. “We wanted to be 40% pre-leased before starting on-site, and we now anticipate reaching that point in Q1 of 2020,” Rossel told MAPIC News. Cherrywood Town Centre is set to open in 2022.

Changi focuses on experiential retail CHANGI Airport Group (CAG) has awarded its core-category liquor and tobacco concessions to Lotte Duty Free, the world’s second-largest travel retailer in terms of sales turnover.

It operates concessions in markets including Australia, Japan,

New Zealand, South Korea and Vietnam.

Lotte will start operations in June 2020 with 18 liquor and tobacco stores, all of which will be rejuvenated with fresh designs to appeal in particular to millennial shoppers. The Termi-

nal 3 liquor and tobacco duplex store will see a complete revamp of its store facade and all stores will be “infused with lifestyle elements and packed with experiential activations”, according to the Group, including bespoke whiskey-blending, curated zones and annual, large-scale consumer events.

Lim Peck Hoon, CAG’s executive vice-president, commercial, said: “This presents unique opportunities for marketing innovation and customer engagement. It is aligned with CAG’s vision to offer passengers a seamless omnichannel retail experience and new retailtainment initiatives, leveraging smart technologies.”

The contract is for a six-year term commencing June 9, 2020, across Changi’s four terminals, spanning more than 8,000 sq m of retail space.

LANDLORDS MUST ‘EMBRACE TECH’ PROPERTY companies are still proving slow to take advantage of the powerful opportunities presented by new real estate-specific tech platforms, the head of an emerging proptech provider has said.

Michelle Buxton, founder and chief executive of Toolbox Group, said that landlords and agencies should embrace the strategic potential of new “tech ecosystems” which integrate numerous tools, functions and services into single digital hubs accessible by multiple stakeholders within the property workflow.

“Landlords need to understand what’s going on with their customers and with their buildings,” Buxton said.

“The only way they can do that is by using data. There is so much data out there now. It enables sophisticated integrated, co-operative relationships between landlords and tenants, and one-to-one relationships with customers.”

Toolbox Group, which is at MAPIC, operates a number of proptech platforms, managed through smartphone and tablet apps, including real estate management hub mallcomm.co.uk, and digital property marketing service platformshop.co.uk.

The company has expanded rapidly since it was set up in 2000 and now counts major real estate firms including Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, Savills, Crown Estate and Hammerson among its clients.

WUPPERTAL, GERMANY In 2014, the German city of Wuppertal launched its largest post-war urban renewal project – the redevelopment of the city‘s run down railway station district.

London’s West End to see biggest transformation in over 50 years NEW WEST End Company (NWEC), the Business Improvement District for London’s Oxford Street, Bond Street and Regent Street area, is announcing at MAPIC today the 1,000day countdown to when a total of £2.9bn will have been invested within a one-mile radius of Oxford Street.

In a report called Oxford Street 2022, launched in Cannes, NWEC described the investment as the biggest transformation the district has seen in over 50 years, set to re-affirm Oxford Street as a global shopping and leisure destination.

After years of uncertainty and delays, the arrival of Crossrail (the Elizabeth Line) in 2021 is projected to bring an additional 60 million visits annually, boosting spending by 40% to £13.2bn across the West End by 2022. In addition, Westminster City Council’s and The Mayor of London’s re-classification of the West End as an International Centre, set to

be ratified in 2020, should make building uses more flexible.

Jace Tyrrell, chief executive of NWEC, said: “There is a huge number of landlords along Oxford Street and with the current climate and the impact of Brexit, it’s fair to say there has been a pause on Oxford Street and an increase in souvenir shops and the like. We don’t expect the situation to stay the same for long and we are expecting to see

NWEC’s Jace Tyrell: “setting a target”

a rejuvenated street. The new Adidas flagship store and the Market Hall [food hall] that has replaced department store British Home Stores, are great examples of this transformation.”

He said that with the delay to the Elizabeth Line and on-off talk about pedestrianising Oxford Street, NWEC “wants to get accurate information out there” and that “there are going to be some big changes in the next thousand days, we’re not talking about a long time with this”.

NWEC is also setting out a strategy for the area to become a zero-emissions zone within the next five years, which it believes will be a first for any major city.

“We’re setting a target across a tangible timeline and we’re going to be working with the Mayor of London and the Council to set out the steps needed by all the parties to make this happen,” Tyrell said. “We believe we are the world’s high street and we want to be trailblazing.”

BMO invests in Milan and Copenhagen BMO REAL Estate Partners has bought three prime retail properties in Milan and Copenhagen for a combined €65m on behalf of Best Value Europe II, its pan-European retail property investment fund.

In the centre of Milan, two prime retail assets totaling 716 sq m have been acquired through sale and leaseback deals: the Carpisa store on Corso Vittorio Emanuele II and the Yamamay store on Corso Buenos Aires. Both retailers have agreed 24-year leases.

And marking the fund’s entry into the Danish market, a prominent 3,600 sq m corner property has been acquired on Copenhagen’s prime retail street, Stroget. The ground and first floors comprise nine retail units

which are fully let to high-quality tenants, with 17 residential apartments on the upper floors.

The fund focuses on selective, high-quality, prime high street retail properties within top-tier or dominant European cities

that benefit from strong tourism, high footfall and deep international retailer markets. It has made 11 investments to date worth over €300m on the way to its eventual target of €1bn gross asset value.

ATRIUM BUILDS ON EASTERN EUROPE PORTFOLIO FOLLOWING the collapse of Israeli developer GazitGlobe’s takeover bid, Atrium European Real Estate is focusing on asset managing its portfolio of Central and Eastern European shopping centres.

In line with its strategy of focusing on prime shopping centres in Warsaw, the company has completed the sale of two Polish shopping centres for €298m — at around 3% above book value — and reached an agreement for the €37m sale of Atrium Duben in Zilina, Slovakia, at book value.

At the same time, it has bought its fifth shopping centre in Warsaw, paying €43m for King Cross, a well-connected and established centre with a diverse tenant mix and future redevelopment opportunities.

Chief executive Liad Barzilai said: “Operationally the main focus to date has been the continuation of our portfolio rotation and repositioning strategy and it was particularly pleasing that we have agreed or completed €364m of sales at or above book value in the year to date.

We also further progressed our redevelopment and refurbishment programme.

We have also identified a number of further opportunities to invest in our portfolio which we are working hard to bring to fruition in the months ahead.”

Strong growth prompts Turkish textiles to target new markets THE TEXTILES industry is one of the mainstays of the Turkish economy and exports are continuing to grow, according to Mustafa Gultepe, president of ITHIB, the Istanbul Textile and Raw Materials Exporters’ Association.

“Turkish apparel companies export all over the world, to about 220 countries,” he said. In 2018 Turkish apparel exports reached $17.6bn worldwide, up 3.6% on 2017. And growth has continued into 2019 with exports reaching $14.8bn in the first 10 months of the year, up 0.3% year-on-year.

“About 70% of apparel exports from Turkey go to European markets. Germany is our leading market with a 17% share followed by Spain, the UK, the Netherlands, France, Iraq, the US, Italy, Israel and Denmark,” Gultepe said. “We believe that our attendance at MAPIC will create fruitful trade relations and

new opportunities between Turkish and European companies and we will be showcasing our latest fashion and product trends.”

Looking to the future, Gultepe identified Russia, Serbia, Hungary, Finland and Tunisia as promising markets for Turkish apparel exports in the short term, while in the medium-to-long term the US — the biggest importer in all products — is a key target.

Gultepe said a key advantage possessed by Turkish brands is that they control the production process from start to finish, producing everything from cotton and fibre to apparel and finished products. This ensures a fast and flexible supply process. And an increasing number of companies are now completing the final link in the supply chain by setting up retail operations.

“We view MAPIC as a place where our brands can showcase their strengths and sign new deals,” UBA president Sinan Oncel said.

As of July 2019, UBA member businesses had 4,396 overseas stores. “Most of these stores are located in Russia, Ukraine, the Turkic Republics and in various places across the Middle East and Balkans,” he said. “We expect an increase in the number of stores in these locations over the coming years.”

He added: “Today, all markets are accessible thanks to online platforms working 24/7. UBA member brands have access and export

Eway bridges the gap between physical retail and ecommerce GROSVENOR Europe has launched a bricks-meets-clicks concept, Eway, across its Swedish retail portfolio. Designed to bridge the gap between physical and digital, Eway premiered in Burlov Centre, Malmo and will be rolled out to Skarholmen Centrum and Vasby Centrum next year.

The specially designed Eway unit allows visitors to collect packages, try on clothes orders and enjoy simplified returns with packaging materials provided — and to recycle old packaging material.

Grosvenor Europe’s Nordics director Carl Strufve said: “It’s not just about having a fancy post office, it’s about having the right service offer and the branding allows us to communicate that.”

Grosvenor Europe’s Carl Strufve

Eway aims to increase the efficiency of retailer’s last-mile distribution

Strufve said Grosvenor’s research showed that shoppers in the Nordic markets are generally happy to wait two or three days for delivery and are willing to travel to pick up their purchases. “Eway meets their needs,” he said.

From the landlord’s point of view Eway drives shoppers into

111_LE NID DE FRANCE_N1_PIC

the mall, increasing footfall, while at the same time providing data that gives valuable insight into consumer trends. And from the retailer’s point of view clickand-collect customers typically spend more on incremental purchases, for example accessories.

From a sustainability standpoint,

bundling parcel deliveries to one destination and streamlining the returns process means Eway is taking vans off the Swedish roads, increasing the efficiency of retailers’ last-mile distribution. And faster returns means retailers can get stock back onto the shelves before they go out of fashion and end up being sent to landfill.

“This is a service to the retailers as much as to the consumer,” Strufve said.

London’s Battersea project powers towards 2021 debut

THE ICONIC Battersea Power Station is emerging as a new retail destination for London, serving a local, national and international catchment.

The 42-acre (17 ha) site is being developed in phases, with a 50:50 split between residential and commercial uses. Phase one — Circus West Village — has been open for two years; the next to be delivered will be the renovation of the Power Station building itself. Already, 46,000 sq m of office space has been pre-let to Apple for its new London campus and the two turbine halls will house 100 shops, restaurants and cafes.

“We’re on target for opening in 2021, so the mix is starting to come together,” said Sam Cotton, deputy head of retail leasing for Battersea Power Station.

“Now that we can physically show brands the space, they are reacting positively and we’re 64% pre-let.”

Cotton added: “The developers have deliberately said ‘no’ to a department store — the building itself is the anchor. And that’s encouraging brands to take their own stores.”

In the latest deal, Battersea Power Station has appointed Camm & Hooper to deliver events in 6,500 sq m of space, which includes the Generator Hall and

Control Room A, inside the historic power station.

The scheme will also offer a unique chimney-lift experience, taking groups of up to 30 visitors at a time up one of the power station’s landmark chimneys to experience 360-degree views of London’s skyline. Cotton believes this will prove a major attraction, bringing shoppers of a different demographic to the scheme.

The 31 on track to open in Lille NETHERLANDS-based Redevco and Vinci Immobilier, a subsidiary of the Vinci group, has unveiled its plans for mixeduse project The 31 in the historic centre of Lille. The stores and food-and-leisure outlets are scheduled to open in early to mid-2020, with the hotel and offices set to open later in the year.

At 25,000 sq m, the project includes 2,400 sq m of retail, 1,700 sq m of food-and-drink outlets, 5,200 sq m of leisure ac-

tivities, 8,000 sq m of office and co-working space, a 120-room Okko hotel and 600 parking spaces. The project was acquired in 2017 by Redevco, which entrusted it for development to its partner Vinci Immobilier.

“In a changing society, The 31 was designed to be a gathering place in the heart of the city thanks to its reinvented commercial offering,” said Thierry Cahierre, managing director of Redevco France.

advertising companies can do business, Pottier said. “It’s about new ways to get people involved and engaged. We are using data and our expertise to help promote malls. Before, it was much more about renting advertising space. Now we are taking an account manager approach to each mall.”

Pottier said the retail-property industry had reached a “milestone in the journey of the consumer”, brought about by a greater diversity of uses within malls, including art, culture, leisure and entertainment. Mall owners’ increasing willingness to innovate presented an opportunity, he said, adding: “Events in shopping malls are becoming more and more mature, and owners are getting more and more experienced about what they can do. It means the opportunity is getting better and better in malls.”

“It’s a very strategic business sector for us, especially in France,” Pottier added.

sq m/year for Upper 5th Avenue and €16,222 per sq m/year for New Bond Street. The latter — the most expensive European street — has seen annual rents rise 2.3% in the last 12 months. Paris’ Avenue des Champs-Elysees and Milan’s Via Montenapoleone complete the top five.

The challenging retail market is putting pressure on rents in weaker locations, “particularly in the more mature markets of Europe and North America”, said report author Darren Yates, C&W’s head of EMEA retail research. He added: “This year’s results are encouraging and demonstrate the resilience of the premier retail locations.”

Cairo’s first designer outlet Playtime raises its game to mall breaks ground in 2020 entertain kids of any age

CAIRO’s first full-scale outlet mall is about to break ground to the east of the Egyptian capital. The Prime Outlet, a joint venture between the diversified Prime Group and outlet specialist Freeport Retail, will provide 27,500 sq m of designer outlet space as part of a wider mixeduse development.

Construction of the 14,000 sq m first phase will start in 2020,

101_CEETRUS_N1_PIC

with an opening date in 2021.

Freeport CEO Iestyn Roberts said: “This site has become available thanks to the huge investment in new infrastructure around Cairo.”

Prime Group chairman Tamer Wagih added: “Egypt has the biggest middle class in the region. It’s one of the three fastest-growing countries in the world.”

ENTERTAINMENT provider Playtime is expanding beyond its traditional specialisation of indoor play schemes for young children to schemes for older children.

Grant Sonju, Playtime’s director of international business development, said: “Historically seven years and under have been our sweet spot, but now we’re often asked: ‘What can you do for the entire family?’ We’re seeing the size of our projects getting larger. We used to do 100 sq m, whereas now we’re looking at many of 250 sq m.”

Over the last year, Playtime — which was acquired in August 2018 by PlayPower — has created three projects in the UK, including a “contemporary jungle” in Ilford, where children can climb on sculpted foam elephants, meerkats, giraffes and

One repeat customer in Europe is IKEA, for which Playtime is due to open a fairytale-based attraction in Bratislava in February. “We’re doing things the market hasn’t seen before,” Sonju added.

The Coniq Shopping Centre Benchmarking Report allows landlords to compare their centre against European averages and track shoppers’ changing behaviours from year to year. The report was created by analysing the activity over the last 12 months of the 17 million members that use Coniq programmes in both outlets and malls.

Among the key benchmarks are that the average loyalty member spends €221 per mall visit; the average transaction value is €88; and the average spend per member per year is €337.

The concept is aimed to be a draw in its own right. “We want people to say ‘I’m going to Area 15’,” Pelson said.

The first site, located a mile outside of the Las Vegas strip, has

been built in a 200,000 sq ft warehouse space with limited columns and high ceilings and including 45,000 sq ft of events space and 135,000 sq ft of retail space.

The events spaces, which will include corporate events as well as consumer events — including concerts and parties — will launch in February, the remainder of the space opening from April, Pelson said.

Tenants already confirmed include art collective Meow Wolf, which is taking 50,000 sq ft, and axe-throwing company Duelling Axes. And at the first site is in Las Vegas, Pelson confirmed there will also be a wedding chapel.

Traditional retail offers suited to the concept would include streetwear brands such as Supreme and sneaker brand Flight Club. “These types of retail players would be a fit,” Pelson said. “But anything that can be anywhere, like a Lululemon for example, probably can’t exist at Area 15 as a retailer.”

Retail remixed in the online world

H&M Group opened a net 120 stores in 2019

Dramatic changes in the customer’s approach to retail mean that some retailers are re-considering expansion plans. But others are still growing, using their stores to support online.

Liz Morrell reports

W

HERE once retail expansion was about gaining footprint as aggressively as possible, today expansion is more often designed primarily to complement online activities. Both traditional and online retailers see the value of the store for delivering a physical experience and presence that helps to boost customer loyalty across all channels.

This is particularly evident in the beauty sector, where creating the “wow factor” is key. Last month luxury department store Harrods opened two 23,000 sq ft stores

dedicated to beauty in the UK. The H Beauty stores in intu Lakeside, in Thurrock, east of London and in Milton Keynes, north of London, include a blow-dry bar, make-up play table and cocktail bar and are evidence of existing retailers looking for exciting new formats.

Home and body cosmetics brand Rituals is also on the expansion trail — with new stores, relocations and a new superstore. The House of Rituals experience store will be around 3,000 sq m, situated in the heart of Amsterdam and open at the end of 2020 to celebrate the brand’s 20th anniversary.

FEATURE: RETAIL REMIX Jan Eising:

“Our biggest expansion will be France, where we plan to open 25 stores, and Germany with 28 new stores” Rituals operates around 800 stores in 30 countries and 2019 saw it debut in Asia, with three stores in Hong Kong. Next year 120 stores will open, including the first in Singapore, Italy and Poland. “Our biggest expansion will be France, where we plan to open 25 stores, and Germany with 28 new stores,” director of real estate and expansion for Rituals, Jan Eising, says.

The company will also relocate 60 stores to increase footprint.

Standard stores are around 90 sq m, and Premium stores are double or treble the size at 200 to 300 sq m. The first two Premium stores opened in 2018, with three more opening 2019. Up to eight will open next year. “With more selling space people tend to stay longer,” Eising says.

Alongside the expansion of old favourites, new brands and re-

tailers — including those born online — are also realising the continued value of the physical store. Amazon is the biggest example of this with its Amazon Go stores in the US and its clicksand-mortar format, launched in the UK in June, allowing smaller online businesses to sell through a physical street presence for the first time.

Pop-up stores often work well for brands making their physical debut. English all-natural male grooming business Scrubd sells online and through wholesale stockists such as Beauty Mart and

Wolf & Badger. The business expanded to five markets in 2019 including France, Germany, Hungary and most recently the US and is now on the hunt for popup space, ideally in London and New York.

“We’ve been concentrating on getting the business ready for expansion, so in 2020 we feel ready to try out our first pop-up stores, either through store-in-store or standalone,” Scrubd chief operating officer Darren Williams says.

“This small, flexible short-term space will allow us to try physical retail and see how our customers

interact with us in person.”

US shirt retailer Untuckit, which originally launched in 2011, is also testing new markets. It has around 80 stores in the US and Canada and opened its first stores in the UK in November in London’s Covent Garden and Westfield London, part of a wider planned European expansion.

The Untuckit London stores are around 1,600 sq ft and offer a range of men’s clothing as well as whiskey tastings. Untuckit founder and executive chairman, Chris Riccobono, says the business encourages an omnichannel approach. “We call it omni-convenience and it’s basically being able to buy in the most convenient manner for the person who’s buying. The stores are pressure-free environments that support and expand our online sales but allow men to see and touch the product as well as finding their size.”

In fashion the ability to look, touch and try product continues to support expansion, often supported by in-store technology to enable endless aisles and other digital services. This is a focus for Inditex, which has more than 7,000 stores in 96 international markets and continues to expand.

At rival fast-fashion retailer H&M Group, a net 120 stores opened in 2019 across the group as it continued to optimise its portfolio. In September the

George Weston:

“Looking forward, France, Italy, Spain, eastern Europe and the US provide the most significant prospects for further growth” New formats continue to emerge.

H&M is trialling product rental in its newly refurbished Sergels Torg store in Stockholm, Sweden from the end of this month. The store will include a curated assortment of products, beauty bar and cafe concept It’s Pleat.

In October H&M opened its first “hyper-local flagship store” Mitte Garten in Berlin. At 300 sq m it’s one of the smallest stores in the group, comprising a curated collection of womenswear from H&M as well as selected external brands, mostly Berlin-based, complemented by a digital tool offering the company’s full range.

“It’s a test for us as a global retailer to elaborate around how we

can be more personal and locally relevant,” business developer at the Laboratory H&M Group Anna Bergare, said at the launch.

At the other end of the scale, the world’s biggest Primark opened in England’s second city, Birmingham, UK in April. As well as shopping, the 14,800 sq m, fivefloor store offers hairstyling, dining — in one of four locations — and manicures. According to the company: “Research shows that consumers increasingly prioritise shared experiences over physical purchases, and with the high street facing a fierce challenge from online retailers, this store provides a bundle of fun things to do and share.”

At vaping retailer VPZ, stores are at the heart of the brand. VPZ hopes to expand to 300 stores in the UK over the next three years in prime high-street stores of 800 to 1,200 sq ft, tripling its store count since 2018 before an expansion into Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands and other European countries. “Retail is changing but good service and well-designed stores will continue to be what makes retailers stand out,” director of manufacturing and compliance at VPZ, Doug Mutter, says.

The VPZ business model looks to combine staff knowledge with

service to help customers give up smoking for good and so a physical store is essential. “Our highstreet stores are the heartbeat of the VPZ company and our prime focus for growth,” Mutter says.

“Customers are not only looking to make a purchase, they are looking for advice and knowledge to ensure they are making the correct selection which is key to the customer switching completely and successfully giving up cigarettes.”

The reliance on the store model is also important for the discount sector whose business works less well online. Primark’s continued expansion and new superstore is evidence of this. The retailer opened 14 stores globally in 2019 and has 19 more planned for 2020, adding a net one million sq ft of selling space, including relocations and extensions. Primark now operates more than 370 stores in 12 countries across Europe and America. It debuted in Central Eastern Europe in Slovenia this year and will launch in Poland next year.

“Looking forward, France, Italy, Spain, eastern Europe and the US provide the most significant prospects for further growth,” chief executive of Primark parent ABF, George Weston, said in the company’s latest results this month.

Aldi launched the Aldi Local format in seven sites in London this year

MAPIC News 1 • 45 • 13 November 2019

Major new stores will include Paris Plaisir, Lens and Calais Cite Europe in France, Milan Fiordaliso in Italy, Barcelona Plaza de Cataluna and Seville Lagoh in Spain and Trafford Centre in the UK. Two further US stores will open in the new financial year, at retail and entertainment complex New Jersey American Dream and Sawgrass Mills, Florida.”

Among the discount grocers there is much expansion too, especially as companies fight it out for market share. Aldi is on the hunt for 50 to 5,000 sq m stores, particularly in Western Europe and France. It is investing £1bn in 2019 and 2020 in the UK, with plans to double store numbers inside the M25 from 45 to 100 and operate more than 1,200 stores in the UK by 2025. It also launched the Aldi Local format, around half the size of standard Aldi stores, in seven sites in London this year.

Lidl, meanwhile, which has 760 stores in the UK and around 10,800 stores in 29 countries across the world, wants to double its portfolio in the UK and has announced a £500m investment over the next five years to open more than 40 new stores in the capital.

The mix may be changing but the store certainly still has its place.

FEATURE: HYBRID SCHEMES

Amsterdam The Style Outlets will dedicate space to leisure and F&B with outdoor dining

Hybrid schemes key to robust retail future Leisure, F&B and even co-working elements are transforming the face of retail destinations, with the latest mixed-use schemes aiming to fulfil desires and meet lifestyle requirements. Isobel Lee asks, what’s next?

S

uccess in the retail industry has always been about helping customers stay ahead of the trends.

But the latest mixed-use retail schemes are now evolving at pace “to meet a broad range of desires and needs”, according to JLL’s head of retail research, Tjard Martinus.

“There’s been a realisation that allowing different uses can help

offset some of the risks around running a typical retail scheme at the moment, while encouraging an increase in impulse spending,” Martinus says. “Even better, combining the right mixed-use elements creates a halo effect, improving revenue right across the board.”

The science of creating successful mixed-use schemes is focusing on the right equation of el-

ements, which tends to “change quite drastically across different cultures, and different sites”, according to Martinus.

Yet the biggest game-changer of recent years has arguably been the evolution of food and beverage (F&B) outlets, a defining factor in driving footfall in a world where many conventional transactions have shifted online.

The UK, where ecommerce ac-

MAPIC News 1 • 47 • 13 November 2019

counted for around 17% of sales last year according to JP Morgan, is both Europe’s most internet-savvy marketplace and one of its richest for F&B activity, according to Savills’ data. Last year marked a record year for international food and beverage operators entering the London market, with a particular explosion of Asia-Pacific brands.

But right across Europe, and in-

“Allowing different uses can help offset some of the risks around running a typical retail scheme” deed the world, F&B has become one of the most significant factors driving new schemes and shaping the way refurbishments are executed. The exemplary DLF Mall in India has 75 F&B outlets, which have helped build its reputation as the country’s first destination mall.

Pan-European shopping centre investor and developer ECE says that 40% of consumers chose a retail destination based on the F&B options and it has been radically updating the offer in its centres in response.

The recent transformation of ECE’s MyZeil in Frankfurt is distinguished by a new food and leisure area on the fourth floor dubbed Foodtopia, which was realised at a cost of €100m and combines contemporary food and leisure options including a premium cinema experience, the Astor Film Lounge.

“The repositioned MyZeil is a true highlight for Frankfurt and a successful example of how to combine shopping, entertainment and dining offerings,” ECE managing director for centre

management, Joanna Fisher says.

“With this project we are showing what the shopping experience of the future can look like.”

Achieving the right combination is also part of the challenge. Positioning cinema facilities next to F&B, for example, “helps increase per-capita spend for F&B, more so than if it was spread throughout a shopping centre,” Martinus says.

If F&B was the early-mover in shopping-centre transformation, leisure has arguably become the next big thing. Providing an opportunity for blue-sky thinking, the strongest schemes have dis-

covered it’s not just about keeping kids happy — but providing multi-generational attractions.

Art galleries and even public libraries are finding homes in a range of schemes, while Hines’ flagship Cherrywood project in Dublin, for example, plans to wow the crowds with day-tonight event spaces. Meanwhile, the Kamppi Centre in Helsinki, jointly owned by Nuveen and Allianz, has dedicated 25% of its space to F&B, as well as hosting a nightclub and a yoga studio on its upper floors.

This kind of thinking is also changing the shape of outlet malls. Amsterdam The Style Outlets, part of the Neptune JV between Nuveen and Neinver, will dedicate 1,000 sq m of its 19,000 sq m GLA to leisure and F&B with outdoor dining.

“Neptune’s vision is to create high-quality retail destinations and a big part of that is making all our outlet centres a place where our guests want to spend time and enjoy a day out,” Charlotte Ashworth, fund manager at Nuveen Real Estate, says. “Some of our centres already feature a strong F&B component.

In our most recent development, Viladecans The Style Outlets in Barcelona,

MAPIC News 1 • 48 • 13 November 2019

catering options comprise over 10% of its GLA; and in Vicolungo The Style Outlets near Milan the weight of F&B is over 8%.

We expect it to play a greater role in all our centres going forward.”

Tech can play a part in creating standout retail destinations. Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield recently unveiled a state-of-the-art partnership with Void to bring virtual reality destinations to its flagship centres in the US and Europe, including Paris, London and Stockholm, with full roll-out set to complete in 2022.

Another high-tech leisure provider, Italy’s Industrial Frigo Ice, has gone global with its snow parks and ice rinks that remain intact even when common spaces are maintained at comfortable temperatures, while keeping one eye on the environmental impact. The firm’s fantastic worlds of snow and ice fit both pop-up briefs and permanent facilities, creating real destination attractions.

But of course, leisure doesn’t always have to be tech-focused.

Spain’s Castellana Properties has been driving footfall with community-focused events that recognise the vitality of the human factor, aided by modern refurbishment programmes. Shoppers were recently drawn to its Granaita scheme in Granada over

“In a time of transformation, it is important to know how to re-invent oneself” “In a time of transformation, it is important to know how to re-invent oneself and improve services adapted to new preferences to support the local community,” CEO of Castellana Properties, Alfonso Brunet says.

It’s also clear in the next wave of mixed-use schemes that centres will continue to evolve, even beyond F&B and leisure. For example, the emergence of blended-living right across the real

dential blocks, housing 450-500 new apartments, completing in stages between 2022 and 2024.

“Lippulaiva is an excellent example of how Citycon is putting its new strategy into practice. This means focusing even more on developing mixed-use projects and densifying the urban environment around our shopping centres,” Citycon´s chief development officer, Erik Lennhammar says.

Co-working, the other huge commercial property trend, is also finding its way into the world of retail. Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield has been a pioneer in this trend in its US malls, with co-working also now planned for select sites in its European portfolio. In April of this year, the firm signed a deal with Wojo, a co-working operator jointly owned by Accor and Bouygues, for all the office space in its Gaite Montparnasse project in Paris, to be delivered in the second half of 2020. However, according to Martinus, while it has been a great solution for vacant department stores in US malls, the revenue available from co-working rents in downtown European malls may not yet compete favourably with retail rents.

The search for other complementary elements has also renewed faith in hotel anchors for mixedused schemes, with this asset class

independently proving risk averse in times of economic uncertainty.

Hammerson has recently submitted plans for a new 205-bed hotel adjacent to its retail and leisure destination Victoria Gate in Leeds, to further enhance the offer at the dynamic City Quarters scheme.

Changing demographics in the Western world are impacting the drive to find pragmatic solutions for aging populations. Since urban living trends suggest that the desire to retire to the country has reversed, modern mixed-use schemes can serve this segment of the population well, even by converting shopping centre upper floors into senior housing in some cases. A more immediate effect is the growth of medical centres, dentists and other health specialists as shopping centre tenants, reinforcing the daily-use trend. Such diversification makes a lot of sense in uncertain economic times.

However, all is not lost for retail as an independent driver of activity. “Out of all the options we have seen, in many cases replacing retail with retail is still a viable option,” Martinus says. “We are seeing traditional retail spaces being turned into factory outlet centres, for example, and it will be very interesting to see how that pans out in the future.”

THE BORDEAUX Saint-Jean project aims to create a new urban ideal in the strategically important district of Saint-Jean. Bordeaux Saint-Jean is an 88,000 sq m project that was initiated by Apsys in collaboration with public development agency Bordeaux Euratlantique (EPABE). Designed by Maison Edouard Francois, the project will provide 110 retail units with a total GLA of 55,000 sq m within architecture rooted in urban haute couture. The project links the train station and the Garonne river, creating a line either side of which is a new urban ecosystem composed of several blocks which are small in scale, sustainable and integrated with the city. Bordeaux Saint-Jean brings together living, working, sharing, shopping and anticipates new urban uses, mobile working, hyperconnectivity and the search for shared life experiences. It will be a place where people meet, share and intermingle.

PORTA A MARE OFFICINE STORICHE, LIVORNO

TOWAROWA 22, WARSAW

Presented by: IGD Planned opening date: 2020 Stand No R7.M1 IGD’s development of Livorno’s Porta a Mare Officine Storiche will utilise and rejuvenate historic dockyard buildings in the city’s harbour area. The development has been designed as an extension of the city centre and will serve both local people and the many tourists who land at Livorno’s port. The concept of this project is the combination of recreational and sports activities with a classic commercial retail offer. The centre will provide a range of retail and F&B opportunities. It was important that the design of the scheme preserves the original space and restores the structure of the historic buildings. The designs envisage a covered urban square which overlooks the waterfront. The glazed frontage of the buildings reveals their structure while allowing large amounts of natural light to permeate the commercial areas at the same time providing a high degree of thermal insulation.

Presented by: EPP, Echo Investment Planned opening date: 2020/2021 Stand No R8.E11 TOWAROWA 22 will be the largest mixed-use project in the centre of Warsaw and is being developed on a site of 6.5 hectares in Wola, which is the fastest growing area of the city. Designed by the architects BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group), Towarowa 22 complements the restoration of the pedestrian streets of historic Warsaw with a mix of apartments, shops, workplaces and cafes, at the heart of which will be a public park. Towarowa 22 will also be a cultural centre with the inclusion of a theatre as well as Poland’s only festival cinema, designed to accommodate movie premieres and other major cultural events. The centre of Towarowa 22 will comprise the restored Kazimierz Wielki square where the pavilion of Dom Słowa Polskiego Printing House will be renovated to highlight its characteristic skylights and spiral staircases.

USA AMERICAN DREAM, EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ Presented by: Triple Five Group, Gensler architects Planned opening date: 2019-2020 Stand No P-1.F2 AMERICAN Dream will provide a mix of entertainment and retail in the heart of the New York metropolitan area. The project is accessible both by more than 21 million residents and by the 55 million domestic and international tourists that visit the area every year. Lying at Meadowlands in Bergen County, New Jersey, the project is situated at the intersection of three major highways used by over 100 million vehicles annually and is accessible from three of the largest airports in the US. American Dream combines retail, dining, entertainment and visitor attractions on a large scale. The retail component comprises over 450 retail, food and specialty shops with anchors including Saks Fifth Avenue and Lord & Taylor. Nearby are leisure attractions including North America’s largest fully-enclosed indoor DreamWorks Water Park, an indoor Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park and a 16-storey Big Snow indoor ski & snow park. The leisure element of the project also includes a 1,500-seat live performing-arts theatre: an 87m-tall observation wheel; luxury movie theatres by Cinemex; a 6,500 sq m Sea Life aquarium and Lego discovery centre; NHL-size ice rink; and an 18-hole miniature golf course. The centre also features The Collections — a 42,615-sq m luxury and fashion area and The Dining Terrace, which comprises 15 full-service restaurants. The sheer scale of the project has been one of architect Gensler’s main considerations and the firm points out that with a complex as large as American Dream, the visitor journey must be intuitive so that people readily understand where they need to go and how to get there. It is also important to create an intimate, personal experience while conveying the complete entertainment offering that is available at American Dream. Another objective was to create a clean, contemporary space that

connects a number of buildings while creating zones with distinctive personalities, differentiating the experience which each provides.
